Definitions
- Piezo actuator with means for compensating for the thermal change in length and fuel injection valve with piezo actuator
- the invention relates to a piezo actuator and a fuel injection valve for an internal combustion engine with an actuator unit that is permanently connected to a valve housing and has at least one piezo actuator that is introduced into an actuator housing under pretension, with a compensating element to compensate for the piezo actuator and a top plate of the actuator housing different thermal change in length of the piezo actuator relative to the actuator housing is arranged.
- High-pressure accumulator injection systems are increasingly being used for the fuel supply of internal combustion engines.
- injection systems are common rail systems (for diesel engines) and. HPDI injection systems (for gasoline engines) known.
- the fuel is pumped with a high-pressure pump into a pressure accumulator common to all cylinders of the engine, from which the injection valves on the individual cylinders are supplied.
- the opening and closing of the injection valves can be controlled electromagnetically or electrically; In the present case, electrical piezo actuators are used for this.
- the expansion in the axial direction that occurs when the piezo actuator is activated is used to control the injection needle for injecting fuel via a direct or indirect operative connection with the injection needle of the valve, a relatively sensitive adjustment between the piezo actuator and the injection valve being required. Due to the different thermal expansion coefficients of the piezo ceramic and the surrounding materials learn to compensate for the different linear expansions caused by the necessary wide temperature working range in a vehicle in order to prevent the valve lift from being misused.
- a piezo control valve is known from DE 195 38 791 C2, in which the valve housing itself is designed as a two-part sleeve with sleeve parts arranged axially one behind the other, which consist of different materials with different expansion coefficients.
- EP 0 869 278 AI two further, also mutually independent, but combinable compensation options are mentioned.
- At least one shim with a relatively high expansion coefficient which is arranged between the piezo actuator and the cover plate of the actuator housing, is proposed, which is suitable for compensating for the lower expansion coefficient of the piezo actuator compared to the actuator housing.
- a particular problem of the temperature compensation described occurs in connection with the necessary pretensioning of the piezo actuator in the actuator housing. Since tensile stresses in the piezoceramic actuator material must be avoided, the de-energized piezo actuator is preloaded in a defined manner by means of spring force. The energized piezo actuator must therefore expand against this bias. Typically, to generate this preload, as described in EP 0 869 278 A1 of the generic type, a spring is arranged between the base plate of the actuator housing and the associated end face of the piezoelectric actuator, which spring acts against the actuator Head plate of the actuator housing presses and thus preloaded. Likewise described is the possibility of including such a biasing spring or an associated actuator via the choice of material in the compensation of the different linear expansion.
- injectors are also known in which the piezo actuator is prestressed within a tubular spring made of steel, which is welded on one side to a head plate and opposite, with pretension, to a base plate.
- the actuator unit formed from this "housing”, together with the piezo actuator inserted under pretension, is firmly connected to a valve housing or installed in an injector body.
- the known measures to compensate for the different linear expansion are not readily applicable to this construction.
- compensation must take place between the piezo actuator and the "Bourdon tube housing", since otherwise there would be a temperature-dependent change in the pretension and thus an undesirable, temperature-dependent response behavior of the injection valve.
- the invention is therefore based on the object of ensuring a temperature-constant preload in a generic injection valve with little structural outlay even if the piezo actuator is introduced into a tubular spring under preload.
- the piezo actuator is arranged within a tubular spring in a generic injection valve.
- the compensating element is designed as a compensating cylinder arranged within an extension tube.
- the actuator housing comprises a two-part, from the Bourdon tube and the permanently connected extension tube, the extension tube end of which is firmly connected to the head plate and the end of the tube spring, with application of a defined preload on the parts arranged axially one behind the other, fixed to a base plate of the actuator housing.
- the invention is therefore based on the idea of mounting the piezo actuator and the compensating cylinder in series in an "actuator housing” and jointly pretensioning them by means of a tubular spring extended to the "actuator housing".
- the actuator housing consists of a head plate, extension tube, Bourdon tube and base plate. This results in a structure in which the sum of the thermal expansions of the inner parts (piezoceramic plus material of the compensating cylinder) is equal to the thermal expansion of the actuator housing.
- the preload on the piezoceramic set during assembly changes only insignificantly when the temperature changes.
- there is a stable construction of the actuator unit which in particular enables it to be stably fixed in the valve housing.
- the parts of the actuator housing consist of steel, that is to say the actuator housing expands evenly and overall in a defined manner in all parts.
- the compensating cylinder consists of aluminum. This material combines the desired expansion behavior with an advantageously high strength and a low weight.
- the expansion behavior of the inner parts or the geometry of the actuator unit as a whole can be influenced in a simple manner by arranging an intermediate disk between the piezo actuator and the compensating cylinder.
- openings are incorporated in the circumference of the extension tube, in each of which a spring plate is mounted in such a way that heat is transferred from the compensating cylinder to the valve housing in the case of an installed actuator unit.
- the spring plates each consist of the material copper, copper beryllium or bronze.
- Another embodiment of the invention is characterized in that a groove for caulking the actuator unit is incorporated in the valve housing in the top plate of the actuator housing.
- FIG. 1 the actuator unit
- FIG. 2 shows a longitudinal section through the actuator unit according to FIG. 1
- FIG. 3 shows a further longitudinal section through the actuator unit according to FIG. 1
- FIG. 4 shows an overview of an actuator unit according to FIGS. 1 to 3
- FIG. 5 shows a partial section of an injection valve.
- FIG. 1 The fully assembled actuator unit is shown in FIG. 1, the parts of the actuator housing, that is to say bottom plate 4, tubular spring 3 welded to it, extension tube 6 welded thereon and head plate 5 welded thereon, to be seen first.
- the top plate 5 has bores from which connection pins 14 of the piezo actuator 1 are led out.
- the weld seams 11, 12 and are also indicated in FIG 13 for connecting parts 5, 6, 3 and 4 of the actuator housing.
- Shown in FIG. 1 are also openings made in the extension tube 6, into which spring plates 8 made of copper, copper beryllium or bronze are mounted. These spring plates 8 ensure rapid heat transfer between the internal (not recognizable) aluminum compensating cylinder and the valve housing, so that the function of length compensation can be optimally performed when the temperature changes.
- FIG. 1 Also shown in FIG. 1 is a groove 10 machined into the top plate 5, which can be used to positively caulk the actuator unit in the valve housing.
- FIG. 2 shows a cross section (perpendicular to the plane of the connecting pins 14) through the actuator unit.
- the internal structure of the actuator unit can be seen, in which the piezo actuator 1, an intermediate disk 7 and the aluminum compensating cylinder 2 are mounted axially one behind the other.
- These inner parts 1, 7 and 2 are enclosed by the actuator housing, which consists of the base plate 4, the Bourdon tube 3, the extension tube 6 and the cover plate 5, which advantageously consist of steel parts welded together, which results in a uniform, defined thermal linear expansion of the actuator housing as a whole results.
- FIG. 2 also shows an O-ring 9 on the base plate 4, which facilitates the centering of the actuator unit in a bore in the injector housing.
- FIG. 3 shows a cross section (along the plane formed by the connecting pins 14) through the actuator unit.
- the connecting pins 14 of the piezo actuator 1 which are guided through the bores of the head plate 5 and are further guided in side slots 15 (cf. FIG. 4) of the aluminum compensating cylinder 2, can be seen particularly well.
- Figure 4 shows an overview of the entire structure of the actuator unit.
- the head plate 5 and the extension tube 6 can first be connected by a weld 11.
- the tubular spring 3 is then welded to the extension tube 6 with the weld seam 12.
- the internal parts that is to say the piezo actuator 1 with its connections or connecting pins 14, the intermediate disk 7 and the aluminum compensating cylinder 2, each with side slots 15 provided for the connecting pins 14, can also be found in the sleeve composed of the parts 3 and 6 already welded head plate 5 are mounted.
- the base plate 4 can be connected to the tubular spring 3 by means of the weld seam 13, with application of a defined prestress on the inner parts, in particular on the piezo actuator 1.
- FIG. 5 shows part of the housing 16 of the injection valve.
- a fuel hole 17 is formed in the housing 16, which leads fuel to a nozzle needle.
- the housing 16 is preferably arranged in the upper region of the injection valve and the piezo actuator 1 serves to actuate a servo valve which controls the pressure in a control chamber.
- the nozzle needle is moved into an open or a closed position depending on the pressure in the control chamber. Fuel is dispensed in the open position.
- the piezo actuator 1 can also control the nozzle needle directly.
- an injection valve according to the invention results with a compact drive unit that can be fixed in the injector and whose piezo actuator has a temperature-constant preload.
